Not seen rubber ones for the top of the panniers (yet ... I'll keep searching) Only seen the clear film for the top.

There's the rubber bumper type for the sides though

Took it for MoT yesterday and a 50 mile wet ride around Wales with a breakfast stop at the Horseshoe Pass to celebrate it passing!

Even with the restraint necessary due to the weather you can tell it's a bit quick :D

I recently bought a pair of motorcycle armoured denim jeans from JTS, really impressed with the armour, and the Kevlar reinforcement. There's three colour choices available too. It's nice on warmer days to have something lighter to wear and still have protection. https://www.jtsbikerclothing.com/mot...

I'm rapidly running out of space now, in fact pretty much run out one bike ago, but have bought yet another

It was a bargain through work, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it :D

panniers look smaller, fairing looks way less effective ..... and the 1300 engine is proving unreliable ... I'll keep my K52 for now :D

Every year I visit the Lobster Pot in church bay Anglesey

Usually in the spring but this year's been decidedly cool.

Gorgeous weather recently, so decided to treat myself and get a spin out on the BoxerCup for a change

thanks Stu, you've confirmed my suspicion

Can someone do a sanity check for me as I'm sure my R12RT LC used to start in first with the clutch pulled in, it's now only starting if I put it into neutral.

I have several bikes, plus I work with bikes so I'm not sure if I'm misremembering :D

Seconded on the Pilot Road, make sure they're the Pilot Road GT's though for the additional weight of the RT.

I've previously been on many Pilot Road 5 GT's and now on Pilot Road 6 GT's They're a fantastic tyre, like most tyres I find that when they wear the RT becomes heavier feeling and ponderous.

I use a combination of a bag that fits between the screen and dashboard for documents etc https://www.nippynormans.com/wunderlich/r1200rt-lc-2014-on/wunderlich-cockpit-bag-r1200rt-lc-r1250rt-up-to-2020 and a small SW Motech micro bag (I like that it "hovers" above the paint on it's mount) ...

My BMW Fit for All (which is a rebadged Sena 10R) works fine if I pair the GPS as a phone, then pair the real phone to the GPS for calls etc.

That way the GPS acts as a hub for calls and nav functions

I've attached the BMW guide, it says K1600GT but the process is the same

From my place to our regular first hotel stop in Scotland is 227 miles, I fill with E5 on longer trips and regularly get to the hotel with 50 miles remaining before I hit reserve. This gives me a nice buffer to find petrol the next day at the mornings coffee stop. On the motorway nowadays I sit dead...

Hi all, I've been tooling around on an old R80 and a ZZR1100 for some years and recently acquired a 2021 1250RT. I've done about 3500 miles so far, been to France on it with the missus for the Normandy DDay 80th and love it to bits. Except the seat. It's a plank! Hi, and welcome :) It's such a subj...
